We developed the Mirror-Pixel Prototype within the scope of the SUN-D Project. 49 mirrors act as pixels and project direct sunlight to any kind of surface. Each mirror is being flapped up and down by a solenoid and switches the individual pixel in the projection on and off. The goal of this concept was to build modular projection units which can be coupled if necessary.

Although the projected 49 pixels dancing on the projection-surface unveiled very unique and expressive aesthetics, we did not further investigate in the improvement of the display, as the more pixel the more power is needed to operate solenoids. Increasing the display resolution would also boost power consumption. But we went on and developed the SUN-D Plexipixel prototype.
